    2011 Touring Coil Wire Colors

    Recently when I had issues with my coil wires the colors were hard to identify as Dobro says above think they must fade or something....?

    Rough Idle after adjustment to speedo

    I'd check what Mark suggests above first, I reloaded a map then discovered the O2 sensor was on, no idea how it happened.

    Rear rotation noise

    Glad its sorted. This is a long story but I'll bore everyone. One of the most frustrating times of my life was with my old T140 Bonnie (still got it) I had a knocking noise that only occurred when I rode it and got over a certain speed after a rebuild. Wouldn't do it at stationary revving it...

    getting rid of the top end govenor.

    Hello and welcome from NZ. The TuneECU is not hard to use once you get the cable. Only thing I found you need to be careful with when setting it up is Windows sometimes tries to install the incorrect driver for the cable onto your computer trying and "help" you with the installation, easily...

    Surprised

    Maybe the Triumphs were so popular they had all sold out?;) Being a salesman he's gotta try and sell you something....

    Another pipe

    Ive been thinking of a new muffler when I fit up a header system soon and sort of had in mind one of those mufflers, looks exactly like the type that was on my old Speed Triple and I loved the sound it made. However looking at that one I've sort of gone off the idea as it looks to hang too...

    Stripped wiring

    Wrecka, the exact same thing happened to me, I put Hagon Nitros on too 1" longer, didn't happen again, shouldn't have happened from new though...

    Can Triumph Leather 3 Buckle bags be quick detachable?

    Oh also the bags are pretty crappy IMO and deform badly, mine look like sacks of potatoes. Theres some sort of kit that holds them in shape but its too late for mine and a few months ago I snagged the middle buckle on a trailer I was riding by and tore it off:mad:. Will need some new bags soon...

    Can Triumph Leather 3 Buckle bags be quick detachable?

    I sort of made mine quick detachable by drilling holes in the back of them where the mounting bolts go through to the metal pannier frames to the bike frame. Use capscrews and the whole thing can be taken off in about five minutes. Hope the descriptions clear? Cant put up pics right now sorry...

    Rear OEM Brake Pads Toast After 13,000KM

    Just check that your not resting your foot on the pedal while riding and not noticing it, I was doing that when I first got my bike and hadn't got round to setting up the peddle height properly. The type of pads also make a difference, I put scintered on the rear and std on the front. I don't...

    turbo / supercharge / possible group buy?

    There's probably not a real need too, but just cos ya can. With the R3's low compression its almost a perfect sitter for any positive pressure system IMO. See this Utube video, the guy gets his turbo R3 from 0-150mph in a very short time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnKBdkwOFhg

    turbo / supercharge / possible group buy?

    Gday About 6 months ago I was considering putting a turbo on my R3, but a certain brake got in the way and I couldn't see how she would approve it. (If it wasn't for her though I'd probably be living in a cave though, but I'd have a lot of toys in it.:)) Anyway I did the design and costed...

    Slight coolant usage?

    Gday, I found mine had an issue a few years ago exactly like your describing, couldn't find an actual leak but could often smell antifreeze. Found it was the top radiator hose not tightened enough, had the radiator pressure tested etc also after I found this just to be sure and it was all OK...

    Old new guy or New Old guy...

    Welcome back. Yes get in touch with Paul at Viking Exhaust in NZ, he's just down the road from me and I've been watching him develop them, they are very nice. This is the model that will fit straight onto std pipes (cat or cat bypass), or you can drop the end off and do a complete header/pipe...

    Extreme Darkside

    As this was powered by a Lifan motor (nasty piece of Chinese rubbish) its a pretty sure bet that when he spun it up at the start it was engine smoke and burning clutch at the back rather than that tyre breaking out, and it would probably need an engine rebuild after that YouTube run. But in...

    Extreme Poor Sportsmanship

    This used to happen to me in Mountain-bike races, where there's no one to see.... it was mostly my "friends" who did it to me. As I was rubbish it didn't really matter:rolleyes: If your a professional racer its pretty poor form though.

    Kia ora from New Zealand

    Hi Jandals Yep we're just out of Huntly but only been here 10 years now as we always seem to have been on the move. Settled now though. Oddly BigKel knows my neighbor and I'm attempting to get them in touch, even met someone who used to live on our house that was on holiday here from...

    Whats that all about?

    Hi Cardinal, this happened to me also, just settled down but I was paranoid about cooking the motor all the time.
